KA Motor Mount Help

[g6civcx]

This is a really easy question for you guys with the KA. Does your motor mount bracket has the crossbar like the SR? I can't tell from the parts fiche.

The reason I am asking is because that crossbar makes it hard to access the mounting nut. Thanks.

that is the engine mount mounting bracket and its on all cars. SR or KA or RB. For that fact, to not have it would leave no way of mounting your engine to the engine mount itself. hahahhahhahha :rofl:

Yes, I am asking what the difference is between the two brackets. The SR has a crossbar like I highlighted in the crosshair. The KA doesn't look like it does.

If someone can take a snapshot at their KA bracket that would be very helpful.

I will go look at my stock daily driver in a little while. I think the problem is your crosshair is very misleading it looks like it is highlighting the whole engine bracket. Excuse my obvious response to your question based on that.

No big deal. I know how some people get around here. I updated the crosshair and highlighted that crossbar I was talking about.

If you could just take a quick peek and tell me if your KA has that bar, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for the pix. Obviously if a straight socket can't fit then you would use a swivel flexjoint or a combination wrench. I already have it out. I was asking to see if there's a better way to torque the nut as per factory specs, but from the way it looks the only way to torque is with a crow's foot.

That is viable solution also. Just wait until you have to loosen the nut on the passenger side mount.

It wouldn't be so bad if the intake manifold wasn't in the way.
